For the past couple of months I have been taking a vacation from jewelry making and
instead focussed, pun intended, on a couple of photography projects. I
edited and optimized my digital photos from trips to the Thelon region
of the Northwest Territories of Canada and also from a trip to see the
mountain gorillas of Rwanda and produced two hardbound books of my
photos using a print-on-demand service called Blurb. You lay out your
book and then upload it to Blurb and they print and bind it and mail it
to you. Very cool.

You can actually look at my books
online. I had no intention of trying to sell them, but I discovered
that Blurb automatically puts them online with the price to produce
them, so I'm using it just as a feature to share the books with
friends. If you go to this link, click on the book and then click on
the full screen icon (the little box with outward pointing arrows) and
you can page through the book.
